One Third Golden Monkey + Two Thirds Assam GFOP

Now that's a great cup of tea. I take mine with milk and sugar, so YMMV.

I've mostly stopped buying my tea from Adagio, except for Fujian Baroque, Ginger, and Masala Chai (and Moriartea, which is a mixture of the latter two). Most of Adagio's teas are flavored black tea: the equivalent of pre-sweetened wine coolers, to my taste. Vanilla, mango, caramel ... *shudders*

I buy most of my and the Mr.'s daily tea from Upton's now. They have an ugly, retro site, but a really superior range of varietal black teas, including several different kinds of Lapsang Souchong (the Mr.'s favorite) and the two I just mentioned. And their customer service is at least as good as Adagio's, if not better.

Upton is wonderful. *^^* They're one of my two very favorite businesses to deal with online (the other being Sock Dreams). They also sell my favorite tea, which I drink probably ten times more often than all of my other flavors combined, and thus have to order by the kilo. O_o
